The current + language version is Eiffel 3, described in detail in Meyer's book "Eiffel: + The Language" (Prentice Hall, 1992). Many other books are available on the + language and the method. The language is non-proprietary. + + The aim of Eiffel is to improve the quality of software systems and the + productivity of the development process. It particularly promotes the + production of software that has the following qualities: reliability + (absence of bugs) extendibility (ease of change) reusability (reliance of + libraries of packaged components) and portability (adaptability on many + platforms with full source compatibility). Eiffel also makes it possible + to produce compilers, such as ISE's, which generate extremely efficient + code. + +More docs are in ``${PREFIX}/eiffel/doc'' and ``${PREFIX}/eiffel/introduction'' +Some examples are in ``${PREFIX}/eiffel/examples''. + +eric. +-- +erich@rrnet.com -- cgit
